This book implies that it will give you the basics, and that is all you get. The chapters are short, but not in a good way, more in a "I feel like I only read the abstract. Where is the rest of the article?" kind of way. This book will not be very helpful in my Counseling career, or in a crisis. This is the WebMD version of crisis counseling; you'll have to consult someone/something else still.
This was great and very easy to maneuver while reading. The hardest part was not having actual page numbers to be able to quote or do page references. Or if there is a way to convert location to actual page number that would be great!
Great Quality
